My tire shop says I need aftermarket parts to enable full alignment of the rear wheels of my 94 Accord.

The dealer says this is isn't needed.

Who is right?

 

if you give us the alignment results we will let you know ,,
I cannot tell you who is correct without seeing the alignment readings , if they are out of specs or not ....
the only way either 1 would say that ,is if they put it on the alignment machine and saw the alignment readings ..

 

Just curious where you went? Pep Boys told my girlfriend she needed 100+ in repairs in order to align it right.....then she went to sears and they got it all to spec.

 

My 94 Accord Shop Manual says only the toe-in can be adjusted. No caster or camber adjustment.

good luck

 

you are correct .......But if the camber is out of specs,( due to an accident ) some people opt to install a camber kit ( which can bring camber into specs thus no tire wear ) rather than replace suspension parts which can be more expensive ..

But i cannot give him the proper response till i see the alignment results

 

The dealer did an alignment, and didn't say that anything is out of spec.

I'm a novice and don't really know how to read the alighment printout.

It gives Actual and Before values, so I assume the Actual are where they were after any adjustments. They are as follows:

Rear Left
Camber: -0.6
Toe: 0.08

Rear Right
Camber: -0.3
Toe: 0.09

Rear
Cross Camber: -0.3
Total Toe: 0.17
Thrust Angle: -0.01
